Donning Winter’s coat
Summer’s sparkle retreated –
Garden is abed.

First Signs
Green sprig, crimson pop –
ornamental precursor
to giving season.

Autumn Berries
Where leaves have vanished
berries remain, nourishment
for feathered migrants.

Maple Leaf
Tracing the lines of your perfection,
I remember, childhood discoveries –
wax paper and hot iron,
the smell of fresh raked pranks,
and what it means to be Canadian.
I no longer make leaf art,
nor partake of Autumn cleanup,
but I have not forgotten
the power of your symbolism
and how far we have yet to go.

Welcoming Party
Potted pleasures hail
Autumn’s arrival – gracious
welcoming party.
